Las Vegas daily expands Sunday biz section

The Las Vegas Review-Journal has expanded its Sunday business section by two pages.

This Sunday, those pages included a list of the 50 highest-paid Las Vegas executives plus columns on personal finance, the stock market and personal technology.

“Our readers have asked for a bigger, better Sunday business section, so we’re making that happen,” editor in chief Keith Moyer said in a story online.

The paper’s business section has undergone changes since the Review-Journal was acquired late last year by casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson.

In June, the paper hired Peter Johnson, an assistant business editor at the Dallas Morning News, as deputy news/business editor.

That followed the departure of business reporters Jennifer Robison and Howard Stutz for non-journalism jobs. Robinson and Stutz were part of the team that helped uncover Adelson’s purchase of the paper.

The paper is now seeking a tourism/gaming reporter and an economy/real estate reporter.
